Behavior on Campus - A Reminder

As you know, once a student takes his or her AP or IB exam, that course is officially over and the block in the student’s timetable becomes a free block. With the addition of these free blocks comes the responsibility to act appropriately on campus.

Students in grades 9 - 11 with free blocks are still expected to be on campus from 8:30 am until 3:30 pm unless they have arranged an exception with the approval of both his/her parents Mr. Malone. When students have a free block they are welcome in the following locations:
  • Study rooms between classrooms - for silent study so as to not disrupt class
  • High School CIC - for quiet or silent study
  • High School Conference Room - for quiet study as available
  • Media Center or Breezeway Conference Room - for quiet study with permission from Mr. Jacobson
  • High School Commons - for socializing and group study
  • iHub - for socializing and group study
We ask students to respect the needs of others by controlling their noise level and monitoring their behavior such that it meets the expectation of the spaces they are using. Students who disrupt the study of others will be given a warning and, then, sent to the High School Office.
